VTXFrank does have some good points. We are based in Michigan so we get the salt and other crap winter brings. I live on a dirt road, so I pretty much have the worst case scenario all the way around and I have never seen any of these situations cause an issue.

Our tanks are steel, our lines are plastic and all exceed Department of Transportation regulations.

Have Air Lift on my Mustang, love it.

I've only used Eibach springs prior to getting air, but I will say that Air Lift is WORLDS better in ride quality. It also makes the car feel more grippy.

Also, the versatility of air makes scraping and crazy entry angles a thing of the past when trying to get over a speedbump or the driveway to your house.

Here's a couple quick pics of my car:

**I don't recommend dumping your car with the wheels turned.. bad things may happen to fender. =D**

Man I want this so bad. Just need to time the purchase right. I would like to just wait then since this is the last year I plan to drive the car daily. It's a good chunk of money too that makes it something I'll have to think about it.

Thanks again to all who chimed in. Your setups are amazing.

just wondering, would this setup work on the dragstrip also. I am gona eventually lower my car and air would be the way i would want to go unless it is a lot slower off the line than say ford k springs or bmr springs.

Yes it would work fine on the dragstrip as well. The cool thing about it is that if you have a little bit of wheel spin or wheel hop you can just put a little more air pressure in the bag to help with traction. We are planning on hitting the drag strip before the season is over so I will be posting some test results. :thumb2:

I'll be posting more of my thoughts on the airlift suspension systems when I can get to a computer along with Irishman. What I can say is that I WILL have their system on my car. Words can't even describe what the system is capable of and the performance of it.

Night and day difference! My car rides pretty rough with the lowering springs. Sometimes I swear i'm going to pee blood after a long drive..lol Had the joy and/or fear of riding with Jeremy and Brian in a couple of their cars and was blown away. It took two days to get the grin off my face and stains out of my boxers! Ride quality was MUCH better than my car and the simple fact of how this suspension can be used for multiple types of driving is absolutely amazing! You want to drop it at the lot for show, button one, hit the road course on the weekend, button two, hit the drag strip, button three, etc....There were 8 preset buttons that the user could setup and you can always manually make adjustments on the fly to correct any track issues. I plan on doing my car in the spring, so it's going to be a long winter...haha

How much does a digital system from airlift run? I really want one
You can check their website by clicking the banner or give Jeremy a shout, I believe it's around $2600 for the manual system and the digital is a bit more (but well worth it) at around $3400. Not 100% but I think that is about where the pricing was last time I checked.

As far as pricing goes, I can get you guys in contact with some local dealers that can provide you with much better pricing. We are not really set up direct so our retail prices are inflated.
